Malfunction. My brain couldn't process what I just heard. A fiancé? He was committed to someone? Since when? Were they already together before we met? after we met? Before we- After we-?

"But don't worry, you're technically not a 3rd party... sort of" My breath got caught on my throat, my ears are ringing.

"We're childhood sweethearts, we were together since kindergarten but we didn't really see each other as more than friends, not until when I came here for vacation two years ago, we hang out to catch up on each other's lives and fell in love" she dreamily sighed, a wistful smile on her pretty face.

"It was going well, we were so in love and he proposed. We were supposed to get married last year..." I don't want to hear it! But I couldn't move.

"I need to do general cleaning anyway" lie

"by help, you mean help me mess it some more?" he grins and wiggled his brows, I turned away. Unable to face him. Was he like this with her?

"Just go already! you're just a nuisance." lie

"Fine, I'll come home as soon as possible." don't.

"Let's go." I take a look at them as they leave and I feel tears fall. Don't leave.

As the door closed, my body starts to shake as uncontrollable sobs breaks the silence of our empty house. I slumped down as I clutched my chest, my heart feeling like it's going to break. So many questions swirling around my head.

I couldn't breathe, I feel like the walls are closing in on me. I shakily stood up and opened the
